What binderly.cards does differently
binderly.cards can't stop break-ins, but it does reduce some specific risks:
- Your private address is never shown. You show your cards online, find cards from players near you and meet in person, for example at your local store's next tournament.
- Your digital binder doubles as a record of what you own. If something goes missing, you already have a list with pictures for the police report.
It's free to use, and binderly.cards charges no fees.
